Laziness is not the only factor contributing to procrastination; it is frequently associated with perfectionism, fear of failure, or overburdening. We must first grasp the underlying causes to overcome our avoidance of labor.

Consider below five proven ways to deal with retrogressive perfection;

1. The Five-minute Rule.

Try the five-minute rule, which suggests not waiting for inspiration to strike, instead, commit to working for only five minutes at a time. Usually, momentum takes over as soon as you begin, and finishing the work becomes much more manageable.

2. Break tasks down.
Another change is the way tasks are broken down into simpler parts. A large project may appear overwhelming to some people; nevertheless, dividing it into smaller tasks makes it immediately manageable.

3. Set Time to Work.
To maximize output, set aside time to work, eliminate distractions (yes, including turning off your phone), and employ tactics such as the Pomodoro method, which involves working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5-minute break.

4. Take Responsibility.
You can help yourself by taking responsibility for your goal by telling a friend about it or writing it down somewhere you'll see it daily.

5. Practice Self-care.
Self-care is critical. Because no one is perfect all of the time, punishing yourself will make your procrastination worse. Celebrate your accomplishments; no matter how tiny, every action counts.

Conclusion.
Perfect is not the objective; instead, growth is.
